KeymasterWelcome Captain! And congrats on running the first Ukrainian uradmonitor unit!
January 3, 2017 at 9:34 am in reply to: DIY KIT1 assembly roundup/lessons: transistors swapped, high-resistance inductor #3969uRADMonitor
KeymasterThanks for this excellent feedback. For those that need it, please have a look on the new version as well: https://github.com/radhoo/uradmonitor_kit1 silkscreen layer should be carefully aligned now.

KeymasterThe inverter voltage / duty data looks ok.
Please post a hires pic with your circuit so I can see the coil and the other components.

KeymasterHi Moran. I see it is now offline, with the last readings showing the low voltage. I suspect one of the high voltage caps / diodes might have failed. In some other situations, the inductor is the culprit or the MPSA42 transistor.
V1.1.104 here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/radhoo/uradmonitor_kit1/master/old/pcb/pcb-1.1/res/uRADMonitor_KIT1.1_sch.png
V1.2.105 herE: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/radhoo/uradmonitor_kit1/master/pcb/1.2.105/circuit/kit1_105_sch.png

KeymasterYes it is. Thanks!

KeymasterThe A2 unit 41000008 was shipped to the lucky winner . Again, congrats ecloud!
@Outsider, this competition was without any voting, the participation only implied posting at least a photo with your KIT1 units. But thanks for the idea, for the next one, we should vote for the best construction!
Merry Christmas all and/or Happy Holidays!

Congrats ecloud, you just won a uRADMonitor A2!

KeymasterI was pleased to see some beautiful KIT1 constructions here, both on factory PCBs and DIY. This thread encouraged the development, and now we have a full open-source KIT1 on github, thanks to Akos and all of you.
Tomorrow evening I’ll select the winner of the A2 unit, randomly, from the list of those of you that posted their KIT1 units here on the blog.
For the lucky winner I’ll need a shipping address and a contact phone number so I can ship it on Friday.
Good luck to all of you!

wanekAs said, it was a “competition, for all those that post their construction here. We’ll have some voting in place, and the nicest build wins a model A2 detector. DIY units go as well.”
For those that didn’t join this, there is still time to post pics with the KIT1 until tomorrow 6pm GMT+2 .

KeymasterThanks guys!

KeymasterIt looks like it lost connection. What is the firmware version on your unit?
uRADMonitor
KeymasterDefinitely, see this: https://www.uradmonitor.com/topic/extend-the-maps/
I’ve been a little caught with the hardware work for model D and A3, but this will be done as soon as possible, part of the new frontend version.

Keymaster0.005 for your tube seems very reasonable, however you would need to test it against a calibrated dosimeter.
I might do that as well, should I find 2x SI16BG tubes. Do you know any good source for them?
uRADMonitor
KeymasterMost likely yes. Will get fixed, it’s just a very busy period atm.
uRADMonitor
KeymasterFirst keep the value in the schematics. Next try a bigger value like 100pF. Hope this helps, keep me posted.

KeymasterLatest firmware is v123 . Here is what you need: https://www.uradmonitor.com/firmware-upgrade-guide/
